Horrible

Acronis True Image 2014 - 1 PC (DVD Case)
Acronis True Image 2014 - 1 PC (DVD Case)

Pros: None

Cons: I’ve been using Acronis for years, and somehow it just gets worse. It has always been a little quirky, but I knew how to work around them so it was OK. I bought the original from Newegg years ago, and did the upgrades from Acronis, like I did here with 2014. Installed on a clean install of Windows 8.1 and did an image backup, and made a recovery CD. Later tried “try and decide” with a Stardock (great outfit) product and decided to uninstall. The uninstalled failed and left the PC in a continuous loop with the Acronis loader over and over. The screen asked (seriously) please take a picture of the screen with a digital camera and send it to us. See, you can’t get chat support because you don’t have an error code from Windows… Same with e-mail, I had to make an error code up. The recovery disk wouldn’t boot even with the PC boot options. I had to do a “low level – zero out disk” and then boot the CD. I’ve gotten no response. I got it all back, but BTW the image is not a “True Image”. Some pieces still had to be downloaded from Microsoft.

Overall Review: Don't bring a copy into the same room as your PC.

Absolulty Great

SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Intel Atom Z2560 1GB Memory 16GB 10.1" Touchscreen Tablet Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean)

Pros: Newegg took care of thing quickly, with no hassle. I received new tablet in three days. My wide loves it after her 7" tablet. Fast and reliable. Happy life, happy wide.

Cons: Maybe "porch" theft. Will only buy from Newegg direct. Third problem with other "sellers".

Overall Review: Buy from Newegg, no third party.

Absolutely great.

USB 3.0 External Enclosure for 3.5" SATA Hard Drives
USB 3.0 External Enclosure for 3.5" SATA Hard Drives

Pros: First, it arrived in two days. Since it was from overseas Newegg stated 14 days. Workman ship is top rate. The aluminum is well finished and fit together perfectly. All necessary hard was included, even a nice screwdriver like you would get from Sears Craftsman. Power switch is nice. If you eject the drive and turn the power switch off, it reappears when you turn it back on. I am running this with a Seagate Constellation, and it runs cooler than in my case. Also the vertical stand is substantial. The USB3 cable is longer than most. Very happy with this.

Cons: Not a one.

Overall Review: Simply the best regardless of price.

Great drive

WD WD Green WD15EARX 1.5TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
WD WD Green WD15EARX 1.5TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Arrived quickly and well packed. Did a 24 hour torture test to burn it in. No errors. Wrote all zeros twice, again no errors. Did the long windows format, again no errors. Seems quite and relatively cool. I tested the drive outside the case, and after testing it was pretty warm, but not too hot to touch comfortably. I use the drive to spin backups to and to hold infrequently used files that don’t need to be on my SSD. Very pleased.

Cons: None

Very pleased

ADATA Superior Series 32GB S102 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (Titanium Gray) Model AS102-32G-RGY
ADATA Superior Series 32GB S102 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (Titanium Gray) Model AS102-32G-RGY

Pros: First, it’s a flash drive that does everything Adata states it will. I own three of various sizes, 16, 32, and 64. As for speed, it varies from one PC to another. Who made the MB / drivers seems the variable. It’s faster on my laptop with an i5, 8 GB than my desktop with a six core AMD FX-6350 with 16 GB. So whatever the issue is, it’s not the thumb drive. If I wait a few more second between systems, who really cares. My desktop has an Adata SSD, so go figure. It’s rugged, works every time. What more can I ask for. And who hangs off a key chain? Get a lanyard if that’s so critical.

Cons: None

Overall Review: None

Very pleased

There was a shipping issue not caused by Throwback Deals, but by FedEx. Throwback was right on top of things and made everything good. They went so far as to call to see if everything worked out and to see if they could help with anything else. Very pleased with their prompt and courteous support. First rate!
